eeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!!!!

... and who could wish me a more fitting Birthday wish than Hoops & Yoyo????

I love these guys!!! Make sure you check out their Hallmark cards they are fantastic!!!

Soooooo many things happening here at the moment but I only have a few minutes to spare so let's see what I can cram in here!

If you are in Newcastle for the Craftfest ... then you simply must go check out the Blueberries stand they have a little collection of my quilts and cushions to take a peek at and they also have all of my patterns in stock if you feel the need to get up close and personal with Don't Look Now!

Also if you do happen to buy a pattern make sure you keep your receipt so that you can enter the giveaway... you still have 6 more days to get your entries in!!!

Julie from A Quilting Passion will also be at the Craftfest. Julie has a great on-line shop and has many of my patterns in stock so make sure you stop by and say hi and spread a little of the love around!!!

I am the guest speaker at the Essendon Quilters Inc next Wednesday night ... if you are coming along please make sure you say hi!!! Speaking to such a large group is a little daunting so it's always nice to have a few people in the crowd who I 'know' :) !

Joshua and all of the other Prep's serenaded us last night at the school with a terrific song called Connie Confidence!!!

My sweet boy I am so pleased that you are loving school so much!!!

I have so many things that I want to share with you but I have made a resolution to try and post smaller more frequent posts ... so all of the details about last weeks Ballarat class ...and the latest Joseph's Coat round up will have to wait until next time. But just a couple of photos wont take too long ;)

Ballarat Patchwork has a really nice Little Monsters pack available ... that looked so perfect sitting with my quilt!

So many beautiful fabrics!!! This shop is really worth a visit!!!

While I am thinking about it this wall quilt ... With love from me... is most definitely available check with my retailers if you have been waiting for it ....

Before I go I will share one more slightly exciting thing .....

Don't Look Now is coming to America!!!!!!

Wooooo Hoooooooo!!!! I can not tell you how excited and terrified I am about this one!!! On the 17th of May this year Jan & I will be packing up all of my quilts and cushions and anything else I can cram into my suit case and heading across to Minneapolis, Minnesota where we will be meeting up with my darling Anna who is going to be helping us out at the Spring Quilt Market!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to need to go lay down for a while now after actually 'saying' this out loud!!! It makes it all very 'real' doesn't it!

You may also like to pop over to Jan's round up of our Sewjourn weekend ... excellent post Jan, thanks!

It is so exciting to hear of your trip to the states. I'm sure you will have a wonderful experience and best of all for all of us your patterns will be more available to us. Thanks for the pics, I love the monster quilt but haven't finished Lilly Pilly or the garden pattern yet.

Hello! Happy birthday!
I would love to make the little monsters quilt for my son. Could you tell me which number issue the pattern is in - websites seem a little vague and as I'm in the UK I don't have easy access to australian magazines.

I am so excited that you are going to be in the US!!! Will you be teaching anything while you are here? I might have to come to the show just to meet you. I love your stuff and hope that once you show the people here what you do they will fall in love with your work too. I don't know how they could help but be impressed. Happy Birthday and seriously please let me know if you will be teaching while you are here.

It is wonderful when our children take the next big step in life, succeed and enjoy it, how wonderful for both of you.

I love the birthday card. On my 50th my neice sent me a musical card that played the song "Word Up"...not my usual listening genre (as they call it these days), but it was a hoot! I loved it and emailed her a pic with me dancing with my hands in the air as the music requested. Too Much Fun!

How Awesome that you're coming to America to visit us! Wish I lived nearer to Minnesota. I guess the really awesome part for the rest of us is more shops will be carrying your designs. The shop in Washington state is about as far from me as you can get and stay in the continental US. I live south of the other Washington...DC.

Will you find the time while here to teach at any Guilds or Shops? That would be wonderful too!
Congratulations,

Happy Birthday and congratulations Kellie. I don't suppose you could scoot over to the East Coast when you get to the US? Maybe the Baltimore/Washington area? (hint hint) I'm a big fan of your patterns and your quilts. I just got 2 more patterns in the mail yesterday and I just love the Little Monsters quilt. Keep up the fabulous work. Ballarat Patchwork looks like such a great shop, gorgeous colors. Love your kitties! We're getting a new kitten this weekend, no name yet.

Happy Birthday! There really is a lot going on in your life, I still keep on wondering how you find the time to do everything you do?! What is that beautiful-looking quilt underneath "with love from me"?
Take care.

Happy Birthday Kellie!
I am still chuckling about the card. (Younger than....giant redwoods! HaHa!) My 18-y.o. son is just shaking his head..."What are you listening to?".
I am so glad you are coming to the States. Not that I quilt. Or live anywhere near Minnesota. But you do make me want to be a quilter. And if I were, I would definitely want to live within easy driving distance to Minnesota, so I could come see you in all your quilty cleverness!

How exciting that you'll be in Minnesota in May. Hopefully, the weather will be perfectly springy and not snowing at all.

As a Minnesota-born girl, I'm happy to hear that you'll be there. I don't comment much on the blogs I read - although I'm trying to get better at it - but I've been a lurker on your blog for some time now.

I was just thinking how great it would be if I could make a trip down under to attend one of the classes/lessons that you teach.

Happy birthday Kellie! How exciting for you to come here for market. The Minnesota ladies will tell you the snow will be gone by May...but maybe not (only kidding). I decided to just do the Houston show, so hopefully you'll have so much fun and be so successful, you'll come to Houston! Hope so!

I just made your pillow from the free pillow tutorial. Do you have any tips for preventing the gummy needle when sewing through the applique shapes? Steam a seam 2 lite is not supposed to to get sticky to the needle but does!! Thanks for any help you can give,
